hi I was looking through other posts on this issue-- and bumped an old post, but I am looking to hear from people who are experienced with classical homeopathy and if it helped them with tick borne illness?

I am 2 weeks into a constitutional remedy ( the homeopath chooses a specific remedy for your whole person) and no change yet.Have had probably babesia- some co infection that causes my breathing to be bad, tight lungs, fatige, for 6 years.Knocked it down over the years with herbal treatment, got to about 75% well for some years. Comes back sometimes- came back a month ago and feel about 25% well now ( 75% ill) primarily with very tight gripped up chest/lungs.

Am currently doing the same herbal protocol I id in the past to knock it down, but also added in classical homeopathy. Have never done it before. I am inclined to think homeopathy can help a lot of things-- my husband is about to go on it for digestion issues, and I think it will help him.But I am skeptical that it can significantly help me with my chronic tick borne ( babesia or whatever this co infection is ) issue.My homeopath said expect 10-20% improvement in 6 weeks, 50% in 5 months, and 90% or more after a year.So far 2 weeks in no better at all. I am using a homeopath who has been doing it for 47 years and is considered to be very good at it., via Skype.

Anyone here have any success treating chronic tick illness with homeopathics, especialy classical homeopathy?I figure it may help my overall well being to some degree, maybe, slim chance, but I think I need the herbals in conjuction to really knock it down.What do you guys think?

also, I saw an old posting by garden peace saying they had used classical homeopathy to get better- but I don't know if she ( or he?) is still on this board? if so I would love to hear your experience.

Homeopathy is placebo and does nothing in my experience. I have tried it multiple times and supposedly from very reputable sources. Itires for example is widely used for lymph but it did nothing for me both times I tried it.

thank you. yes I was looking through some old threads but I am interested in having a current discussion on it with people who have had experiences with it, because I think some of the key posters on the older threads are no longer posting, and I am interested in some discussion and questions and answers currently.

Placebo and nocebo are two sides of the same coin. I was neutral and expected nothing to begin with, I didn't say they wouldn't work off the bat. After spending over a hundred dollars I thought I would warn people to be cautious with them if they see no results. If you believe you can get better then homeopathy can treat almost anything save for physical injuries.

My llmd had me doing some homeopathic treatments. I didn't know anything about homeopathy before that. They did absolutely nothing. Then I researched homeopathy and found out why. I had been buying and taking drops of water to treat a serious illness. Homeopathy is a scam in my opinion. Try and find one peer reviewed, double blind study that shows any benefit from a homeopathic treatment. Homeopathy dilutes a substance in water to a point where that substance is no longer detectable, in other words it is just water again. Told llmd I would not waste my money on any more homeopathic remedies. Might as well try Paltrows Goop.

Having gone through the looking glass due to my journey with lyme+ I've opened up to a lot of alternative therapies when it comes to these diseases. But homeopathy remains one I've never been convinced on, the basic fundamental logic of the thing makes no sense to me. Just my two cents. At least a lot of the other alternative therapies have a mechanism of action that has some plausibility in regards to potential effectiveness for these infections (in my eyes). And while anecdotal information isn't rigorous and has to be taken with a grain of salt, a lot of the other alternative therapies seem to have larger sample sizes of people claiming it improved their health condition (herbals, rife, bvt, etc).
